Tributes
Leave a tributeKeep resting my dear dear beautiful friend and sister.
You were such an angel. The kindest person, I have ever met.
You are sorely missed.
Its exactly 3 years today that you left a vacuum in our hearts my dear angel.
Sleep on dear princess until we meet to part no more.
The Vaccum you left can never be filled.
Continue to have eternal res in the Lord.
We all love you but God loves you more.
Amazing, and because of this you live forever.
Mercy and light, we ask of our God and may these abide with you and us who are now here.
We love you but God loves you more. We shall meet at Jesus feet.
I am yet to find anyone as selfless as you,nothing was too daunting or impossible, you were up to any challenge ,no matter what came your way, you always had a smile on your face.
As a friend, one could not have had a better friend,my family was your family,my pain was your pain,my joy was your joy.
Even in the initial stage of your sickness, you still went to look after my mum when she was not feeling too well.
You served God with a passion that put the rest of us to shame,you served him with everything that you had.
God knows best, he put us on earth for a reason , you have served your purpose, those of us that were fortunate to know you are truly blessed.
Peju, you have fought the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Rest in Peace, my lovely, lovely friend.

Darling darling Peju, it has't ended. I will see you again on resurrection morning.
I will definitely meet you again on the streets of gold which our savior Jesus has promised us. Sleep on lovely soul.
My prayer is that the Good Lord will console the family and grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Rest in Peace.
Didun ni iranti olododo ... I pray the Lord gives us all the fortitude to bear this great loss. You will always live in our hearts.
Continue to rest in the Lord Dear Aunty Peju.
You were such a kindly soul. You were very friendly and loved to laugh, a precious gem. Sleep on darling Peju till we meet to part no more.
I really still can't believe that you are gone. Ever since I remember, you have been taking care of and loving me more than I could even understand. You're presence was always a comforting one, and I always knew that when i wasn't happy, or life wasn't going my way, somebody was out there praying for me. You were kind, you were loving, you were selfless, but most of all, you were God-fearing. Its because of that fact that I am not here to mourn your death, but to celebrate your rebirth with our Lord Jesus Christ. Have fun in Paradise, we will miss you.
RIP Aunty Peju
Wow. I miss you so much. But at the same time I'm so happy you get to be with Jesus, enjoying Him face to face. I thank God sooo much for making you my Aunty.
You taught me about Jesus and why it is important to love and fear God, for that I will be forever grateful. Every morning I still wake up and say "Good morning Jesus, good morning Lord, good morning Holy Spirit". You taught me that when I was like 3 years old!
I have way too much in my heart to say. For now, I love you, and I hope to be a shining example to others, as you were an example to me.
Thank you so much Aunty Peju.
Till we meet again.
Rest easy. ❤♥♥❤♥♥❤
Deep in our Hearts,
Of One we loved & Shall never forget,
Time may pass & fade away,
But memories of you will stay in our hearts,
In God's you rest above.....
In our Hearts you rest with love.....
Always loving & kind.
These 're the memories you leave behind...
A clusters of memories sprinkled with tears.
Wished God spared you more years.
Sis.Peju,Sleep Well!!!.....
This is a great loss to all.
This world has lost a gem.
A truly loving, optimistic, open-minded, helpful, caring and supportive person you were.
A kinder person, I have never met in this world.
A positive force you were in the lives of anyone and everyone lucky enough to interact with you.
From our childhood to our last meeting earlier on this year, I never heard you say an unkind word about anyone or any situation. I never saw you angry. I never saw an iota of negativity.
You lived your life as an positive role model for those that come after you.
Your faith was a major positive force in you life.
Our CREATOR knows best and if there is any fairness in this world and the next, I expect that you are now looking down over us from the comfort of the best locations in paradise.
It is my hope and prayer that I will be judged worthy to meet with you again in paradise.
To my loving cousins: we all bear this loss but no one as deep as you. I pray for all the necessary fortitude to carry on until we all meet again. E pele o. Kunle, Deola, Tunji, Bro Niyi ati Bro Adewale.

Words fail me at this moment............I still struggle to believe you're gone. Indeed, you were more of a sister than sister-in-law and I thank God for our relationship. I will miss your kind heart, warmth, big smiles and show of love through your prayers and constant reaching-out. Even on your sick bed, you managed to keep a smile on your face and you were always curious to know about the wellbeing of others.
I am deeply saddened by your loss but I take solace in the fact that you knew our Savior Jesus Christ and that you're resting in heaven.
You will forever be missed.
With love from Oyinade
I'm sad I didn't get to see you one last time but I'm glad you're resting peacefully now and probably making jokes and making the Angels laugh. I love you Aunty.
From God we have come and unto Him shall we return.
Rashida, May your gentle soul Rest in Perfect Peace and may Almighty Allah forgive you all your earthly sins. Above all, may He accept you in Aljannah Firdhaus, Amin.
They say when those with the brightest hearts pass, the world gets a little darker. The world is truly less bright today.
I thank God for the days when you taught me to read my bible and how you would always come and pray with me when i was sick . Till today I hear your voice telling me to be greater.
I have no doubt in my mind that you are with God. Just reading about how you touched everyone here makes me smile.
I miss you.
Rest easy Aunty Peju
To everyone you knew as your blood relation, you always showed love. Those that aren't were not left out of your love. Your smile always brought good tidings to people's heart. You were always ready to assist either through prayers or other ways of concern.
Words can never express how deep you will be missed. But, my prayer is that heaven should be your abode as your soul rests in peace.
• Peju Kuku-Omotehinse is Gone
It is with a heavy heart I announce the passing on of one of our fellow pioneers, Peju Kuku Omotehinse. Peju left this world after a brief illness last week. Those of us in the Pioneer Sciences especially Chemistry will remember her as one of the Three Musketeers. She had the most beautiful toothy smile.
Peju, you will be missed. .

We got back in touch with each other in 2008 when we discovered that Kunle Kuku; her younger brother was related by marriage - what a small world. He just called me last night and I felt I needed to share this sad news with you.

So sad. I saw Peju about three months ago at Ojodu Berger. A teenage girl was following her. She had lost quite a lot of weight. I didn't have the courage to ask why she had lost so much weight... May God console her family, and may her soul rest in peace

It is well with all the pple she lift behimd in Jesus' name.
Rashida, as I fondly called you from childhood till the last moment, born a moslem, grew up to become a giant in the Kingdom of God and a terror to the kingdom of darkness.
Anytime I called to have a word of prayer with you in the last one year, you have exhibited strong and unwavering faith in the Lord even in the midst of trials and tribulations. My consolation is in the fact that you made it right with your CREATOR and I have no doubt that you are resting in HIS bossom.
Ore mi, Sun re o until we meet on the Resurrection Day
Rest in peace.
Peju, who will i call to pray with me when worries flood in? Sis you forget yourself to help others.Where will i start from?
From our days as pioneers of LASU . You are always there to help- Don't worry come to our house, you like travelling sha, the holiday is too short, all my short holidays always in their house. The 3 Musketers our nickname from Dr Olubajo , Nike where are you? NEPA road ......
You gave my first child her yoruba name, also my last baby you are the first person after the medical personnels to see him and also named him.
We prayed for you daily but sure God want you to come and rest. About a month ago my first son still send a message " How is my love Aty Peju? My reply was keep on praying for her. I will ooooh was his response.
OMO Baba Kuku daughter of the youngest Kuku according to my husband. Jesus loves you and i am sure you also love him and till the end.
It is a debt we will all go one day,somehow,when and how we don not know.
Rest in peace my darling friend and Sis.
Making the link to your brother so many years later and actually seeing you again in 2008; 2 decades later was a miracle. How did we not know? The first thing that hit me when I saw you was that toothy smile of yours...speaking with you again as if time had stood still.
I remember you so well as a peace loving, patient and forever smiling lady. That toothy smile is gone forever? I am still finding it hard to believe but as cliche as it may sound, I really believe that our Lord felt your work was done down here. The rest of us are still working on His great project for humanity. I have so much to say and will do that in the stories section. I have so many memories.of/with you at a time we were all growing up and discovering life.
I do pray that you find the rest you deserve; the way you gave those around you joy and happiness.
Peju, rest in peace. Missing you already.
I do pray for your family and friends that they can somehow learn to live without you here. Farewell Peju...
I love you so much but God The Almighty Father of all Fathers loves much more because you served Him with everything you had and could have had.
We can not dare query Him but let His wisdom and love prevail.
This is the biggest loss for me in my life and I pray to Him, the Greatest One, to give me and my family the fortitude to bear the pains of not being able to physically see and touch you even though your presence will forever be felt in our lives.
You have taken the elder role now, and I pray that everybody that feels your sacrifice will also inherit the Kingdom of God The Almighty as you have done.
Omo borogun la nseso, siwo siwo la nse owo, bi ako ri egbewa sowo, bi ole la nri, sasa eniyan ni nki eni lawujo ise, Bi aba ni owo lowo, teru tomo ni nki eni,
Omo opa fitila feyin oju tan ina,
Omo alagbo dagbo yanmu yanmu tojubo,
Omo Oyinbo ita ntebo,
Omo anjuwon ko se wi lejo, ija ilara ko tan boro,
Omo a tu nwon ka nibiti won gbe ndana iro,
Omo ti o mba oni ika se po.
